When Frank Ocean picked up the award for Best Urban Contemporary Album at yesterday's Grammy Awards, fellow category nominee and public enemy Chris Brown remained seated while the rest of the audience gave him a standing ovation (you can watch the footage above).

According to the DailyMail, Chris's most ungracious move (we could call it something else but will leave you to substitute the appropriate word) was clocked by fellow singer Adele -- also sitting in the front row at the show -- who was less than impressed with his behaviour.

While Adele was reportedly giving him a dressing down, a slightly embarrassed Chris appeared to attempt an explanation of his behaviour to the "Rolling In The Deep" singer, including reaching out to grab her hand. Despite this gesture, Adele appeared to continue her piece.

At the time Frank took to Twitter alleging the Chris and his entourage jumped him, but later decided not to press charges, tweeting: "I'm an artist and a modern person. I'll choose sanity. No criminal charges. No civil lawsuit. Forgiveness, albeit difficult, is wisdom. Peace, albeit trite, is what I want in my short life. Peace."
